This article covers several folklore items, including the legend
of Sir Guy Saucimer and Sir Everard Bevercotes competing for the hand
of Margaret, daughter of Alan de Caldwell, and the founding of
St. Catherine's Well by Sir Guy. The origin is given of the Gopher Bells,
rung on the Sundays before Christmas, and mention made of the Pancake Bell
still rung on Shrove Tuesday. There is also a long description of the
Penny Loaf Day dole, which had ceased in 1934.
